Alice Wilson-Fried"Storytelling is in my DNA. That's how my family's history gets passed on. The way I see it, writing fiction is way for me to help readers connect and relate to that history without teaching, preaching or whining. But through the lens of a New Orleans native telling her story about Black humanity and culture rather than the stereotypes and perspective of visitors and onlookers that have filled the pages of books about New Orleans and its people for generations."
